Podcasts about Graphite

Greg Foster, Co-founder and CTO of Graphite (recently acquired by Cursor), joins the podcast to discuss the massive shift occurring in software engineering: the move from maximizing "Inner Loop" speed (writing code) to solving "Outer Loop" bottlenecks (reviewing, testing, merging). With AI generating code faster than humans can review it, the traditional Pull Request model is under pressure. Greg explains how "Stacked PRs" and agentic review workflows are essential for high-performing teams, and why he believes the role of the software engineer is evolving into an "architect of agents." We also cover the strategic rationale behind the Graphite/Cursor merger, the controversial "PRs per engineer" metric, and why he predicts that by 2029, manual code writing will be near zero—but demand for engineers will be higher than ever.

Aujourd'hui revenons sur un sujet qui a passionné les lecteurs cette année et qui pourrait bien vous servir lors des repas de famille.En effet, si entre le fromage et le dessert, on vous demande un conseil simple et gratuit pour sécuriser un smartphone, vous pourrez désormais répondre avec assurance.Un petit redémarrage quotidienIl faut le redémarrer tous les jours. Et derrière cette astuce qui peut sembler anodine se cache en réalité une protection efficace contre des menaces de plus en plus sophistiquées.L'actualité récente de cette année l'a encore prouvé avec WhatsApp, qui a révélé une campagne de piratage utilisant un logiciel nommé Graphite, développé par la société Paragon Solutions.Le plus effrayant dans cette affaire, c'est la méthode utilisée. Il s'agit de l'attaque dite "zéro clic". Concrètement, la victime reçoit une pièce jointe, comme un simple PDF, et sans même avoir besoin de cliquer dessus ou de l'ouvrir, son téléphone est compromis.L'attaquant peut alors lire les messages, même chiffrés, à l'insu de l'utilisateur.Concurrence marketing entre les vendeurs de logiciels espionsDans cette affaire spécifique, WhatsApp a identifié environ 90 utilisateurs ciblés. Cela peut sembler peu, mais c'est probablement l'arbre qui cache la forêt.Car il existe désormais une véritable concurrence marketing entre les vendeurs de logiciels espions.Alors, quelles sont les conséquences pour vous et comment se protéger ? Et bien il faut traiter votre smartphone comme un ordinateur.Dès qu'un correctif est disponible chez Apple ou Google, installez-leC'est là que notre conseil du début prend tout son sens. Beaucoup de ces attaques, comme le tristement célèbre Pegasus, résident uniquement dans la mémoire vive de l'appareil et ne s'installent pas comme des fichiers classiques.Par conséquent, redémarrer votre téléphone quotidiennement permet, en théorie, de vider la mémoire et d'effacer le logiciel malveillant.Bien sûr, cela ne vous empêche pas d'être réinfecté par la suite. Mais cela complique considérablement la tâche des attaquants. Et dès qu'un correctif est disponible chez Apple ou Google, installez-le. C'est la seule façon de combler les vulnérabilités que ces logiciels exploitent.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast ! Abonnez-vous !Hébergé par Ausha.

In this episode of The Confident Commit, Rob Zuber sits down with Greg Foster, Co-Founder and CTO of Graphite, for a timely conversation about what it really means to ship software fast in the age of AI. Greg challenges the "996" grind culture with a provocative billboard campaign, arguing that speed comes from smart tooling and agency rather than endless hours, and shares how AI code generation is fundamentally reshaping the code review bottleneck while creating new trust and context challenges for engineering teams.The conversation explores the paradox of our current moment—where developers can generate more code than ever, yet senior engineers wake up to 20 AI-generated PRs that still require careful human review. Greg discusses why companies like Google's techniques for handling high volumes of code changes are suddenly relevant again, the emerging role of AI code review as a "super linter," and why he believes the best engineering cultures prioritize being "urgent, expert, and kind." Whether you're an engineering leader navigating the AI transformation or a developer trying to understand how code review needs to evolve, this episode delivers practical insights on maintaining quality and velocity as AI reshapes software delivery.Have someone you'd like to hear on the show?

Recorded live at the CAB6 × MCA Tailgate This episode was recorded as part of the Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB6) activation on the plaza of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, where Bad at Sports staged a series of open-air interviews, community dialogues, and tailgate-style broadcasts. Artists, architects, students, and the public intersected in a shared social space designed for porous conversation. Episode 920 features Tony Lewis, whose practice has shaped Chicago's contemporary drawing discourse for more than a decade. In this conversation, Tony Lewis joins Bad at Sports for an unscripted outdoor interview on the MCA plaza during the Architecture Biennial. The discussion moves fluidly between Lewis's formative years in Chicago, the evolution of his drawing practice, his relationship to language systems (notably shorthand), and the material intelligence behind works that incorporate rubber bands, graphite, or constraint mechanisms. Lewis reflects on mentorship, studio discipline, the importance of failure and patience, and the way drawing becomes a long-term conversation with materials. He speaks candidly about the Chicago art ecosystem, the emotional dimensions of his practice, and the shifting sense of scale and intimacy in his recent work — including his Louis Bag series and large graphite constructions. The episode captures an artist thinking in real time about endurance, attention, vulnerability, and artistic friendship. ·       Drawing as a full-body practice: constraint, tension, rubber bands, architecture of line. ·       Language + shorthand: transcription, coded systems, linguistic compression. ·       Chicago as a site of artistic maturation: community, humility, seriousness. ·       Material intelligence: graphite as dust, weight, pressure, residue. ·       Patience and endurance: long timelines for developing works. ·       Professional evolution: moving from iconic early works to quieter, more intimate forms. ·       Artistic friendship and trust: collaboration, studio visits, long-running dialogues. ·       Shorthand Drawings / Gregg Shorthand–based works ·       Rubber band constructions & torn-grid drawings ·       Graphite floor drawings / powder dispersion works ·       Louis Bag series  ·       Wall-based large graphite sheets under tension NAMES DROP-ed  ·       Tony Lewis - https://massimodecarlo.com/artists/tony-lewis ·       Kevin Beasley (referenced indirectly in relation to material practice) - https://caseykaplangallery.com/artists/beasley/ ·       Nate Young - https://www.moniquemeloche.com/artists/36-nate-young/works/ ·       Theaster Gates - https://www.theastergates.com/ ·       Michelle Grabner - https://www.michellegrabner.com/ ·       Kerry James Marshall - https://jackshainman.com/artists/kerry_james_marshall ·       William Pope.L - https://www.miandn.com/artists/pope-l ·       Rodney McMillian - https://vielmetter.com/artists/rodney-mcmillian/ ·       Amanda Williams - https://awstudioart.com/home.html ·       Rashid Johnson - https://www.hauserwirth.com/artists/2830-rashid-johnson/ ·       Charles Gaines - https://www.hauserwirth.com/artists/21845-charles-gaines/ ·       Torkwase Dyson - https://www.torkwasedyson.com/ ·       Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA) - https://mcachicago.org/ ·       Chicago Architecture Biennial (CAB) - https://chicagoarchitecturebiennial.org/ ·       Shane Campbell Gallery - https://www.shanecampbellgallery.com/ ·       School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) - https://www.saic.edu/   Image Sarah Hudson

Selon plusieurs études, plus de la moitié du contenu en ligne serait aujourd'hui générée par l'intelligence artificielle. Un bouleversement majeur pour l'information et le référencement.Un web de plus en plus artificielLes chiffres donnent le vertige : selon Graphite, une agence californienne de référencement, les contenus générés par IA auraient dépassé ceux produits par des humains dès fin 2024. D'autres études, comme celle d'Ahrefs, évoquent même jusqu'à 74 % du web modifié ou rédigé par des machines. Et d'ici 2026, certaines projections parlent de 90 %. Une transformation silencieuse qui bouleverse la nature même du web.La “Dead Internet Theory”, ou la mort d'un Internet humainCe phénomène nourrit une idée qui fait son chemin : celle d'un Internet désormais dominé par des robots. La “Dead Internet Theory” évoque un réseau où les interactions humaines seraient devenues minoritaires face à l'activité automatisée de bots, d'algorithmes et désormais d'IA génératives. Une hypothèse reprise, entre autres, par Sam Altman, le patron d'OpenAI, et qui alimente les débats entre technophiles et complotistes.Pourquoi l'IA inonde le webLa logique économique explique une bonne partie du phénomène : plus de contenus signifie plus d'audience, donc plus de revenus publicitaires. Mais cette dynamique semble marquer le pas. Graphite note un plafonnement depuis mai 2024. De plus, la plupart de ces textes ne sont ni référencés par Google ni vraiment lus par des humains. Autrement dit, beaucoup de “contenus IA” flottent dans le vide numérique.Comment reconnaître un texte généré par IACertaines tournures de phrase trahissent la patte des machines : abus de participes présents, connecteurs logiques (“donc”, “cependant”), ou ponctuation étrange comme le tiré cadratin. Sans oublier les fameuses phrases conclusives (“cela illustre…”) typiques des générateurs de texte. Autant de signaux qui peuvent aider à repérer l'artificialité d'un contenu.Vers un web hybrideFaut-il s'inquiéter ? Pas forcément. L'IA n'est pas synonyme de mauvaise qualité : elle peut aussi assister les humains dans la recherche d'idées, la traduction ou la mise en forme. Le vrai risque serait que les IA se nourrissent de leurs propres productions, créant un cercle vicieux d'appauvrissement du web. Nous entrons sans doute dans une ère mixte, un web “moitié humain, moitié artificiel”. À nous d'apprendre à reconnaître, trier et valoriser le contenu qui garde une vraie valeur humaine.-----------♥️ Soutienhttps://donorbox.org/monde-numerique

A federal workers' union is suing the Education Department after agency employees on furlough or administrative leave discovered that their automatic email replies had been changed to a message blaming Democratic lawmakers for the ongoing government shutdown. The complaint, filed by the American Federation of Government Employees, asks a court to prohibit the Education Department's alleged efforts to “put political speech in federal employees' mouths.” “Forcing civil servants to speak on behalf of the political leadership's partisan agenda is a blatant violation of federal employees' First Amendment rights,” the suit stated, adding that “employees are now forced to involuntarily parrot the Trump Administration's talking points with emails sent out in their names.” The suit came one day after some furloughed workers discovered that their automatic out-of-office email replies were changed without their knowledge, from neutral language to partisan messaging that blamed Democrats for the shutdown, which began last Wednesday. Three House Democrats questioned the Department of Homeland Security on Monday over a reported Immigration and Customs Enforcement contract with a spyware provider that they warn potentially “threatens Americans' freedom of movement and freedom of speech.” Their letter follows publication of a notice that ICE had lifted a stop-work order on a $2 million deal with Israeli spyware company Paragon Solutions, a contract that the Biden administration had frozen one year ago pending a review of its compliance with a spyware executive order. Paragon is the maker of Graphite, and advertises it as having more safeguards than competitors that have received more public and legal scrutiny, such as NSO Group's Pegasus, a claim researchers have challenged. A report earlier this year found suspected deployments of Graphite in countries across the globe, with targets including journalists and activists.

Conrad Smith of Graphite Connect talks about building a network to create global efficiency, speeding up communication; and bringing you data you can trust.   IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [03.42] Conrad's background and career journey. “I got to Intel and they were doing procurement with paper – white, pink, yellow triplicate requisitions… it blew my mind! Intel in the 90s was THE powerhouse tech company… I showed up, and they were doing paper. That started my career into: ‘Let's figure out how to make it better.'” [06.15] How and why Conrad established Graphite Connect. “What's the difference between a fax machine and email? It isn't the same magnitude of improvement as snail mail to fax machine. It's not a printed piece of paper, it shows up in an inbox electronic, but it's kind of the same thing. And we've got to figure out how to move past that one-to-one sharing of information. We're stuck.” [14.19] An overview of Graphite Connect – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers. “Supplier management starts with onboarding. And that step is what everyone is struggling the most with.” [18.50] The ideal client for Graphite Connect. [22.01] The biggest challenges impacting Graphite Connect customers, whether procurement can keep up with the pace of modern business, and why supplier risk and data are the ‘biggest hairball' in procurement. “Business friction is a real problem. But you can't just evaporate it, because there are suppliers and situations where risk is a significant concern. You do need friction in some places.” [27.18] Why paperwork, legal, and compliance can make it almost impossible to establish new relationships and do business, and how Graphite Connect can help ease that pressure. [34.11] Graphite Connect's Rapid Response feature, how it helps to speed up communication, and why that's so crucial. “Things happen: most recently, tariffs. And the first thing that happened was that executive teams said: ‘Which of our suppliers are most impacted by tariffs, and what does that look like?' The answer is: ‘I don't know, call procurement.'” [38.10] A case study exploring how Graphite Connect helped a grocery store chain cut down time spent on their supplier management process by 75%, reduce labor, and improve data quality. [41.26] The big AI misconception, and the best way to prepare for the future of AI now. “AI eats data, it lives on it. Data is what makes it work. And I think there's a false belief that AI is going to fix it, like: 'I have an AI magic wand and all of a sudden I'll have clean supplier data.'

This week my guest is—me [34:55].  I asked Reid Bryant of the Orvis Wingshooting Podcast to interview me because I have worked at Orvis for 49 of those 50 years and lived through the various stages of Orvis rods, plus I just spent the past two months writing a history of the Orvis graphite rods. You'll learn about some interesting things that went on during those times that have never before been published. Some of them are quite surprising. In the Fly Box this week, I answer these questions and more: What hatch makes large brown trout leap fully out of the water? Is there a hook sizing standard for fly-tying hooks? How can I hide the final whip finish on my bead head nymphs? What characteristics make for a good prospecting dry fly? What do you recommend for a fly-tying light? Can I use heaver hooks on my small nymphs? My lighter hooks keep getting straightened by large trout. Is there a database for fly fishing locations around the world? I travel a lot and like to fish various places. What rod should I travel with if I have no idea what I will fish for? What flies should I carry that will work anywhere in the world? What type of fly line should I put on older fiberglass and bamboo rods?

Microsoft's Return to Office, ICE's Spyware Resurgence, and Cohere's Canadian AI Ambitions In this episode, host Jim Love discusses Microsoft's new return-to-office policy, requiring employees within 50 miles of an office to work in-person three days a week, citing internal data on the benefits of face-to-face collaboration, especially in AI teams. The episode also covers the reactivation of a $2 million contract between the Trump administration and Paragon Solutions, allowing ICE to use the controversial Graphite spyware domestically. The script highlights Canadian AI company Cohere's progress, including significant funding, strategic hires, and strong revenue growth, while maintaining its roots in Toronto. Lastly, Love revisits the 'Dead Internet Theory,' suggesting the rise of bots and AI-generated content could be shifting the internet from a space of active interaction to one of passive consumption. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:22 Microsoft's Return to Office Policy 01:49 Controversial ICE Contract Reactivation 03:06 Cohere's Canadian AI Success Story 05:01 The Dead Internet Theory Revisited 07:24 Conclusion and Viewer Engagement

EP 259.5The cybersecurity and technology threat landscape is accelerating in scale, sophistication, and impact. A convergence of AI-driven offensive capabilities, large-scale supply chain compromises, systemic insecurity in consumer devices, corporate data abuses, and state-level spyware deployment is reshaping digital risk. At the same time, new innovations—particularly in open-source, privacy-centric AI and smart home repurposing—highlight the dual-edged nature of technological progress.AI-Accelerated ExploitsAttackers now harness generative AI to automate exploit creation, compressing timelines from months to minutes. “Auto Exploit,” powered by Claude-sonnet-4.0, can produce functional PoC code for vulnerabilities in under 15 minutes at negligible cost, fundamentally shifting defensive priorities. The challenge is no longer whether a flaw is technically exploitable but how quickly exposure becomes weaponized.Massive Supply Chain AttacksSoftware ecosystems remain prime targets. A phishing campaign against a single npm maintainer led to malware injection into packages downloaded billions of times weekly, constituting the largest supply-chain attack to date. This demonstrates how a single compromised account can ripple globally across developers, enterprises, and end users.Weaponization of Benign FormatsAttackers increasingly exploit trusted file types. SVG-based phishing campaigns deliver malware through fake judicial portals, evading antivirus detection with obfuscation and dummy code. Over 500 samples were linked to one campaign, prompting Microsoft to disable inline SVG rendering in Outlook as a mitigation measure.Systemic Insecurity in IoTLow-cost consumer devices, particularly internet-connected surveillance cameras, ship with unpatchable flaws. Weak firmware, absent encryption, bypassable authentication, and plain-text data transmission expose users to surveillance rather than security. These systemic design failures create enduring vulnerabilities at scale.Corporate Breaches and Data AbuseThe Plex breach underscored the persistence of corporate data exposure, with compromised usernames and passwords requiring resets. Meanwhile, a federal jury fined Google $425.7M for secretly tracking 98M devices despite user privacy settings—reinforcing that legal and financial consequences for privacy violations are escalating, even if damages remain below consumer expectations.Government Spyware DeploymentCivil liberties are increasingly tested by state adoption of invasive surveillance tools. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement resumed a $2M deal for Graphite spyware, capable of infiltrating encrypted apps and activating microphones. The contract proceeded after regulatory hurdles were bypassed through a U.S. acquisition of its Israeli parent company, raising alarms about due process, counterintelligence risks, and surveillance overreach.Emerging InnovationsNot all developments are regressive. Philips Hue's “MotionAware” demonstrates benign repurposing of smart home technology, transforming bulbs into RF-based motion sensors with AI-powered interpretation. Meanwhile, Switzerland's Apertus project launched an open-source LLM designed with transparency and privacy at its core—providing public access to weights, training data, and checkpoints, framing AI as digital infrastructure for the public good.The digital environment is marked by intensifying threats: faster, cheaper, and more pervasive attacks, systemic insecurity in consumer technologies, corporate and governmental encroachments on privacy, and the weaponization of formats once considered harmless. Yet, the emergence of open, privacy-first AI and the creative repurposing of consumer tech illustrate parallel efforts to realign innovation with security and transparency. The result is a complex, high-velocity ecosystem where defensive strategies must adapt as quickly as offensive capabilities evolve.Conclusion

EP 259  In this week's update:Affordable LookCam devices, marketed as home security solutions, harbor critical vulnerabilities that could allow strangers to access your private video feeds.VirusTotal uncovers a sophisticated phishing campaign using SVG files to disguise malware, targeting users with fake Colombian judicial portals.Plex alerts users to a data breach compromising emails, usernames, and hashed passwords, urging immediate password resets to secure accounts.Philips Hue's innovative MotionAware feature transforms smart bulbs into motion sensors, enhancing home automation with cutting-edge RF technology.A massive supply chain attack compromises npm packages, affecting billions of downloads through a phishing scheme targeting maintainers' accounts.Google faces a $425.7 million verdict for covertly tracking nearly 98 million smartphones, violating user privacy despite opt-out settings.Switzerland's Apertus, a fully open-source AI model, sets a new standard for privacy, offering transparency and compliance with stringent data laws.An AI-driven tool, Auto Exploit, revolutionizes cybersecurity by generating exploit code in under 15 minutes, reshaping defensive strategies.ICE's adoption of Paragon's Graphite spyware, capable of infiltrating encrypted apps, sparking concerns over privacy and surveillance in immigration enforcement.Look closely and perhaps you'll see it in the picture.

Today, we discuss three critical minerals to illustrate, and challenge or reinforce the common narratives out there, the intractable problems those supply chains face - even with projected soaring future demand. And consequently, the influence these elements have on geopolitics and economics. Influence that is only growing. We're taking Yttrium, ,Rhenium and Graphite and each one tells a different story about our modern economy about the critical mineral supply chain and pricing and some of that challenges that poses to governments, companies and us as individuals. To tell those stories we are rejoined by Ellie Saklatvala, Head of Metals Pricing at the Independent Price Reporting Agency, Argus. 

Vikram Handa is Managing Director of Epsilon Advanced Materials, a leading global manufacturer of sustainable and high-quality Anode & Cathode battery materials for EV and ESS.  Vikram joined the podcast as part of our Critical Minerals Series to break down the supply & demand dynamics of Graphite around the globe. **Disclaimer: This podcast is meant for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.A big thanks to our 3 Minerals & Royalties Podcast Sponsors:--Tracts: If you are interested in learning more about Tracts title related services and software, then please call 281-892-2096 or visit https://tracts.co/ to learn more.--Riverbend Energy Group: If you are interested in discussing the sale of your Minerals and/or NonOp interests w/ Riverbend, then please visit www.riverbendenergygroup.com for more information--Farmers National Company: For more information on Farmer's land management services, please visit www.fncenergy.com or email energy@farmersnational.com

Interview with Clinton Booth, Managing Director of Green Critical Minerals Ltd.Recording date: 29th July 2025Green Critical Minerals (GCM) has executed a strategic transformation from traditional mineral exploration to advanced technology manufacturing, positioning itself at the forefront of the rapidly expanding thermal management market. Under Managing Director Clinton Booth's leadership, the company has acquired Very High Density (VHD) graphite technology that addresses a critical challenge in modern computing: efficiently cooling increasingly powerful microchips in data centers and high-performance computing applications.The technology represents a significant breakthrough in thermal management. VHD graphite can handle 300W of power demand compared to just 200W for traditional copper and aluminum heat sinks of identical design when operating at 70 degrees—a 50% performance improvement. This enhanced capability directly translates to reduced cooling costs, lower electricity consumption, and decreased water usage for data center operators, who typically spend 30-40% of their operating costs on cooling systems.GCM's market opportunity is substantial and growing rapidly. The heat sink market for data centers alone was valued at $17 billion in 2023, while Nvidia's chip sales to the data center sector exploded from approximately $4 billion in 2023 to over $40 billion in 2024, demonstrating the explosive growth driving demand for advanced thermal solutions.The company has developed a dual-channel go-to-market strategy targeting immediate revenue through online retailers and industrial suppliers, followed by high-volume contracts with data center and semiconductor customers. GCM's modular manufacturing approach requires only $500,000 per production module and can scale capacity 6-8 times within 3-6 months, targeting 40% gross margins.Following a $7 million capital raise in June 2025 anchored by Terra Capital, GCM is well-positioned to capitalize on the intersection of AI growth and energy efficiency demands. The company targets first revenue in the first half of 2026, with strategic partnerships including GreenSquareDC providing real-world validation opportunities in the sustainability-focused data center market.View Green Critical Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/green-critical-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
